Robert Minott explores the journey of love on his rendition of “I Want To Know What Love Is.” The Jamaican singer makes it his own by putting a reggae/R&B spin on the track. Minott has been making music since 1991 and has worked alongside artists like Shaggy and Dorian Paul. “I Want To Know What

The Passenger is New Age artist Cheryl B. Engelhardt’s latest album. Featuring nine songs that drive home the idea of total chill, with just a bit of caffeinated rhythms, The Passenger flows like a wonderous escape. Surrendering to these joyous, serene tracks is not only welcomed, but also second nature. Engelhardt, who spent time on a train ride

Classical music provides one of the more versatile and flexible artistic jumping-off points in all the medium when applied in the right fashion, and in her new singles “New Beginnings” and “Uncertain,” Bonnie Milne is manipulating the style into something quite brooding indeed. Without perverting the genuine purity of the classical genre, Milne is pressing

Rousing and bursting at the seams with a flamboyance all too profound to be left to its own devices, the guitar parts in “I Am Love” are deeply seductive and make the tonal presence of Ananda Xenia Shakti and Love Power the Band hard to ignore in their new record Love Is Where You Are. This

In his first two singles, “Tomorrow Never Comes” and the viral hit “All My Love,” singer/songwriter Morten Nygaard focused more on cultivating an identity for the individual tracks than he did himself, but this just can’t be said for his latest release, the all-new “Trespassing.” Where “Trespassing” raises the bar for this player’s output is

Swiss artist, Ajay Mathur, encourages listeners to discover who they are outside of social media with his latest single “Real.” The grammy nominated artist has found the sweet spot between existentialism and sun-soaked melodies. “Real” offers listeners an opportunity to bask in its delicious melody while sparking ones thoughts about their authenticity offline. “Real” is

Iva Toric has many sides. One of those sides, without question, represents the next natural step in women’s increased presence as lead singers for top-notch rock acts. The music-buying public has been slow to grant such acts the acceptance given to elite bands but that has changed enormously in the past two plus decades. Toric

With Chris Nordlinger manning the lead guitar, a patchwork of balladic bliss is born in “The Lesson,” one of the more emotional works to be enjoyed on Brooke Josephson’s new EP Showin’ Up. Nordlinger’s connection with Josephson forms some of the more evocative harmonies in all of the record, but don’t think the magic stops there

I needed this song. Trisha & Thara’s latest single “Too Late Again” is five-star modern pop with EDM influences rife during the chorus and sparkles with the ever-optimistic energy of youth. It’s not difficult to get caught up in this song’s percolating chorus and then carried away by the bright-eyed onrush of its refrain and

The second studio album from Brian Shapiro Band, It’s Amazing!, features ten tracks that take the iconoclastic tendencies of their first album All That We See one step further. It flirts with cliché but there’s something for everyone in this collection. I believe a major reason for this is the restless creativity underlying Shapiro’s songwriting, the skill of

Bluegrass’ public perception says it’s a moribund genre with a small, albeit passionate, fanbase. It’s likely true. Traditional Americana styles such as bluegrass, traditional country, blues, big band, and jazz haven’t enjoyed commercial clout since the first half of the 20th century. Our modern tendency, however, to conflate sales with artistic viability blinds many of us

“In Spirit and Truth” is Not Ashamed’s powerful new anthem celebrating the bands love for music and Christian faith. Not Ashamed is on a journey to take Contemporary Christian Music (aka CCM) out of its box, with the groups classic rock sound. “In Spirit and Truth” incorporates the ancient sound of bagpipes with modern electric

In my experience, good folk music comes from conventional perspectives rather than anything too experimental, and in his new single “A Light out There,” singer/songwriter Pete Miller aligns himself with some of the simplest players we’ve heard in the modern era. Instead of banking his natural rusticity as a player on a backing band, or

Hybridity is becoming a popular theme in all kinds of music from hip-hop to rock and country music in the past few years, but it isn’t very often that it’s made to produce a sound as full-bodied as what we get in the new album Le Olam by Alex Krawczyk. Krawczyk takes influence from across the pop

With as much attitude as the instrumentation comprising its greatest harmony, Larry Jay’s vocal stomps into focus like nothing else does in all four of the songs featured in the new record Written in Whiskey. While there’s a lot to what makes this EP such a fascinating and immersive listen, it starts with the foundation of
